Salt Fish posted:There is literally no reason to do any of that beyond just churning out more and more miserable human lives (as if 7 billion here on earth wasn't enough). Living in space would be a god drat nightmare and the laws of physics limit our species to this solar system at most. We would be better off building cities at the bottom of the ocean. It'd be easier, less costly, more pleasant, more abundant resources, and your commute back to the terrestrial sphere wouldn't be 6 months. There is an argument to be made that dropping off humans with all our technological development, on a planet which posesses all the mineral resources of Earth with none of the territorial or political issues, would be a comparatively good way to achieve a post-scarcity society. Essentially we need the British Empire in space except we strip mine other planets instead of poorer countries.

I want to go to mars and dig up all its metals and use them to build awesome stuff and mars doesn't even have an environment to spoil, it's loving ace.

You also can't break mars, it's an arid shithole that doesn't support human life, there is very little you could do that would not make it more livable.
